[edit] Reference

Actually, a recent article in Dark Reading (http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=122252&WT.svl=news2_1) mentions the term (which made me look it up on wiki). Additionally, the similar terms (which are linked to from the article) pod slurping, bluesnarfing, bluejacking, and sneakernet are all documented on Wikipedia, thus the "dictionary" nature of the article is valid. I agree, that due to the similarity of the term to the human behavior "thumb sucking," the name should be changed to "Thumbsucking (data theft) to avoid confusion. Sifujc 00:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
